The Birth of the COOL : Happy Bday Miles Davis
MAY 26, 2006
BIRTH OF THE COOL
A TRIBUTE TO THE MAN WITH THE HORN
It was a celebration of some sort, marking the 80th birthdate of probably one of the most important figure of jazz music, Miles Davis. Born May 26, 1926 Miles Davis established himself as great composer, master of improvisation and elevating jazz music into one of America's great cultural contribution to humankind.
That night we had the Johnny Alegre's Affinity (Johhny Alegre, Koko Bermejo and Dave Harder) and Bo Razon's (with Koko Bermejo on drums and Meong Pacana - bass) Javadelic group playing an all Miles Davis composition. I just realized that the extended four hours of playing is not enough to cover his entire body of work.
